Addressing Perinatal Mental Health Conditions In Obstetric Settings
Webcast
2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ OVERVIEW
Addressing Perinatal Mental Health Conditions In Obstetric Settings is organized by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Available: May 18, 2023 - March 1, 2025
Description:
Perinatal mental health conditions affect more than one in five perinatal individuals and are the most common complications of pregnancy. These conditions include mental health conditions with onset during pregnancy or the first postpartum year and mental health conditions with onset that predates pregnancy.
This eModule provides information and resources that will help obstetric care clinicians detect, assess, treat, monitor, and follow up with patients experiencing perinatal mental health conditions. Our goal is to help integrate mental health and obstetric care using a strengths-based, trauma-informed, culturally humble approach and help obstetric care clinicians increase access to timely and evidence-based mental health care for their obstetric patients.
Objectives:
By the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe the patient care pathway to follow when addressing perinatal mental health conditions
- Determine how to screen and evaluate illness severity, including how to assess intrusive thoughts and the risk of patient harming themself or their infant
- Recognize the risks of untreated perinatal mental health conditions and how to provide evidence-based treatment
- Find how to select, initiate, and adjust treatment as needed based on patient response
